"jin-hyung."
"yeah?" seokjin slipped on his shirt and walked over to the bed.
"we should've stayed with jimin."
"i know. i was dumb enough to leave because i knew he was lying about it..." he sat down at the edge of the bed.
"it's okay." hoseok placed a hand on the older's shoulder.
"it's not. if jimin gets hurt or even killed..it's all my fault for not saying anything."
"jin-hyung." hoseok faded him and cupped the older's face with both of his hands. "it's okay. we're able to call the police—"
"no we aren't." seokjin moved his hands off of his face, standing back up.
he placed his hand on his head, closing his eyes.
"if we called the police on him..he'll kill jimin." seokjin sat down on the bed again. "i-it'll be all my fault."
hoseok crawled over to him and hugged him from behind.
"he won't die because of you. jimin will find his way out. it's not going to be your fault."
"hoseok..."
"i don't want you to get hurt. i don't want anything happening to you. please. just don't hurt yourself again."
seokjin lowered his head.
hoseok turned the older around to face him.
"i don't want you gone." the younger whispered.
